Appearance - Poures a finger of off white foamy eggshell head, color of the body is a gorgeous hazy oranged amber, lots of carbonation continually rises within the body, great lacing that nearly covers the interior of the glass.

Mouthfeel - Lighter side of medium, medium carb that is very smooth and a bit foaming, but has some nice crisp edges at the sides and back of the tongue, very drinkable and thirst quenching, dry and slightly chalky finish.

Overall - Pretty nice nose, but flavors are all about pale malts and hops. Decent complexity and really nice balance. A good ipa but drinks more like an apa imho. A good, slightly bitter and dry ale. Extremely sessionable at 5.25%.

Wow I am a new believer in high-hopped beer,the smeel was so floral and fresh and fruity just amazing.I always seen it at the store never bought it,what a dumbass!Hop-Heads will love this flavoral brew!

Had on tap at the Park Bar in Detroit. Poured a hazy, light-amber color with a bit of orange. Hard to judge appearance accurately, it was served in an opaque plastic cup. Head disappeared quickly but left a very thin layer along the top. Easily brought back with a swirl of the cup. The smell was very hoppy, floral, earthy, and a bit grainy with some very faint citrus and grapefruit notes. The hop bite was present in the taste, but overall pretty mild for an IPA. Slight citrus on the tongue as well, along with a floral/pine aftertaste. Not much malt to the taste. Medium body, ever so slightly sticky, but it leaves a pretty dry finish on the mouth.

Pretty decent IPA here. Nothing spectacular, but it's very drinkable and could easily be a nice session beer due to its relatively low ABV and IBU for an IPA.

Served during in a pint glass during "Pint Night" at Tyler's Taproom in Apex, NC.

A: Decently golden in color with a slight orange hue. White foamy, slightly uneven head of about 1/2 inch or so. Good lacing.

S: Citrus and floral hops are well combined and very pungent. There's not much else going on but the aromas are incredibly pleasant and inviting.

T&M: The first rush is all hops, nicely bitter but with an interesting light mellow sense about it. The malts kick in just about then... complex and light in flavor relative to the hops but it allows for something near balance in texture. Carbonation is light and fine, allowing for just a bit of a creamy mouthfeel - an interesting contrast to the cutting bitter hops. Finish is long and hoppy, with a slight oily moughtfeel and more hops lingering on.

D: I had about half of the pint on its own before the food arrived and it was very enjoyable. It went down easy and was incredibly satisfying. When the food arrived, I did notice that the brew changed completely to me. The bittering components came through much more sharply and some of the smoothness fell away. But you can't beat it for a palate cleanser! It was like a fresh experience with each bite. I have to say that this is very enjoyable and highly drinkable. Recommended!

Purchased from 3 Corners Liquor in Medford, MN. Pours a slightly hazy orange-amber body with a thin white head that caps. Aroma is dominated by citrusy hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavor is nothing but green apple sourness. This might just be one bad bottle out of many, but consistency counts in my book.

12oz bottle pours into my glass a nice clear peach/orange hue with a half inch of tight white bubbles on top and a bit of spotty lacing. Lookin good so far. Aromas start off with a nice mix of lightly piney and citrusy hops...the citrus shines through moreso. Its backed up by a sturdy caramel, somewhat biscuity maltiness. Nicely balanced overall, but lacks a bit of the hop punch I look for.

First sip brings a caramel infused biscuity maltiness upfront that has a touch of a toasted aspect to it. This is quickly followed by a rush of citrusy, earthy hop bitterness that has a tinge of pine to it as well. Flows down smooth and crisp with the sweetness hitting upfront and the fairly mellow bitterness playing clean up on the way down. A nice brew overall.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and a bit chewy with a good steady carbonation. An easy drinking IPA overall that is mellow compared to my hophead standards, but still fits well inside the realm of a well balanced IPA. I have enjoyed this one in various incarnations at festivals in the past and I'm always down for a pint!

Pours a hazy golden orange with lots of miniscule floaties. It has a white pillowy head that retains well and leaves some lacing.

Its aroma is piney, grapefruity centennial hops...yum! It dissipated rather quickly though.

The flavor is some sweet doughy malts followed by a big bitter bang. It has a strong lingering bitter floral hop aftertaste, almost a bit too much. It's similar to the Founder's Centennial and Bell's Two Hearted, but definitely less balanced. The mouthfeel is a little on the thin side.

Poured from the bottle a nice golden with a thick and creamy head. Scents of freshness, fruity, hops. The taste is very hoppy with a nice bite to it, very good flavor. Visually pleasing label, and I always enjoy ones that entertain me. This one says it is "the most wonderful punch in the nose you'll ever experience". cute!
Very drinkable, nice session beer.

Pours a slightly amber golden color with smallish head. Decent lacing. Aroma mostly floral hops with a little pine which follows into taste. Taste is predominantly floral with a little pine in the finish. Mouthfeel is nice, very full feeling. A good IPA but not exceptional. I would drink it again but probably will not seek it out.

Found a few bottles of this at a fruit market in Evansville, while looking for fresh yellow corn. What a find!
Pours a hazy, rust orange body with a two finger offwhite head. Retention is very good and lacing is excellent.

Aroma is excellent, opening with citrus florals like orange blossoms, followed by fresh mown hay, honeydew melon, and a soft malt backing of caramel and honey. Very nice to the nose.

Mouthfeel reveals a medium body, backed by slightly above average carbonation that deftly mingles the hops and grain bill.

Taste reminds me of a honey drenched orange blossom. Citrusy and floral hops mingle delightfully with a caramel/honey malt backbone. Malt character is somewhat grainy, but works well here. Finish is very clean, only slightly dry.

Picked up a case of this unknown (to me) India Pale Ale while visiting Shangy's in Emmaus, PA. Check out my beerfly review.
Pours a rust orange w/ a half finger of tan head after a somewhat aggressive pour. Lacing is thin but coats the glass nicely.
The aroma is a nice blend of floral hops and malt...nothing jumping out at me, but very inviting.
The taste is less than spectacluar...again, a well balanced IPA w/ plenty of malt to keep this one less hoppy than some Pale Ales I have had.
I truly enjoy its flavor...it is leaning towards an English style IPA, not trying to be a hop bomb. I was expecting more from its name, but a nice bitter hop appears once it warms up...do not drink this one even close to chilled.
Mouthfeel is thin w/ nice carbonation...I could put down many of these in an evening w/ no effort.
